Making Kodak Film
Expanded 2nd Edition 

1. I make no promise that the book will ever be printed again.
2. No one else, including Eastman Kodak Company, has any rights to over ninety-five percent of the contents of this book, so the information  may not  ever be available from another source.
3. I  protect my copyright  "like a junkyard dog".  I intend on giving the rights to an educational institution. I don't want the rights to be compromised when they are gifted.
4. Errata: regrettably I am aware of these errors in the book that could cause a misunderstanding of the information; the correction is in bold : 
        Page 62, column 1, line 19           replace “comic" with "cosmic"
        Page 77: Column 2 Paragraph 2   replace cellulose with Celluloid 
        Page 110, column 1, line 33         replace "satiability" with "stability” 
        Page 139: Fig 152                        replace all "grams" with "grains". 1 Gram =15.4 grains. 
        Page 274 line 5                             add “In the 1920s, non-Autographic backing paper was..."
        Page 368 paragraph 3 line 2         replace “scale-scale” with “small-scale”
        Page 392: Column 1 Line 8          add 1988-“1989” Kodacolor Gold 400
​        Page 429: Figure 400                   replace 20  with 19. KH-9 Launch 20 April 18, 1986 exploded at an altitude of 800 feet. Film was scattered across the launch site. Perkin-Elmer employees “scoured the area for several days, and picked up all the pieces of film we could find.” Phil Pressel, Meeting the Challenge, The Hexagon KH-9 Reconnaissance Satellite 2013, page 249. Collecting the film  was important because the fact that it was a photographic satellite was a covert activity.
